The Saint Patrick Day Leprechaun

Dragon sat in the bushes all night long, for he wanted to catch himself a Leprechaun. See Leprechauns have gold by the buckets full, and Dragon wanted himself… some. So our sly little Dragon had put a lit up rainbow, on our garage door, to be cast on… St. Patrick’s Day was in the morning, and he wanted some of those golden charms. He’d read: You gotta get up, so very early, to be able, to even a little, trick those guys. For those wily Leprechauns are the cleverest critters, which were ever seen… to arise. So Dragon had dressed up in the Irish green, topped with a cute little Leprechaun hat. You see, Dragon believed he was, the slyest thing, put on this earth, here… ever… yet. Sure enough, at the break of dawn… a Leprechaun came snooping, stealthily around. Strangely, he looked about 3 years old, the same age of our Dragon, or there, around. They hit it off immediately, with so much in common, at that tender age and time. Finally together, they dug up the pot of gold, which the Leprechaun’s magic did rise. They had decided to share the wealth, of any gold, they did hope to some how find But darn, the Leprechaun was unhappy, at the small amount of gold before his eyes. He swore our Dragon had dug it up early, and already taken his own share… after all… Dragons were known to be the greediest things ever put on this earth, he did recall. Yes, he’d seen thru Dragons disguise, and had seen the wily-ness of it all… so true… So the Leprechaun threw a crying hissy fit, the likes of which Dragon had never knew. He raged on and on, how his new best friend could ever think to cheat him, Boo Hoo! Now, Dragon began to feel very guilty for what he had originally, truly, wanted to do. So in the end he gave it all away, to his newest best friend, who left without an adieu. At that our dear little Dragon, felt proud for what he had finally achieved and done. That is until he looked at his own little bitty horde of gold… that was suddenly gone! Yep the little Leprechaun, had stolen it fast away! With his magic he had transferred… Dragons gold to the Leprechauns beloved pot! Now Dragon became enflamed at it all! At what the Leprechaun had done… Until Grandpa Troll reminded him with the moral: Don’t be surprised… if you get burned… when you play with fire, my little friend! The End! Written 3-17-2017
